David Warner

David Warner was the kind of character actor I never tired of seeing. Over six decades from Manchester onto stage and screen, he made villains feel intelligent and gave sympathetic roles real ache, which is a rarer combination than people admit. His credits run from prestige drama to genre and even video games, and that willingness to work everywhere is something I respect deeply. The Primetime Emmy, the Theatre World Award and his Saturn recognition all point to range rather than typecasting. He passed in 2022, but I think his face and that unmistakable voice will keep turning up to surprise new viewers for a long time.
